This men's overshirt is cut heavier than a standard shirt, so it works as a light jacket rather than something worn against the skin. A pointed collar sits over a full button-through placket with tonal metal buttons, and two flap chest pockets fasten the same way with a further patch pocket set below on one side. The cotton has a soft washed finish with a fine brushed surface, and the body finishes straight at the hip with buttoned cuffs at each wrist.

It's the layer that fills the gap between a shirt and a coat. Wear it open over a plain white tee with jeans, or fastened over a knit on cooler days. The navy works alongside cream, grey, olive and denim without much thought, and the utility pockets give it more presence than a plain overshirt. Boots or trainers both sit well underneath.
